The background is Cuttlebugged and inked with grey. I cut 1/2" squares and colored them with Copics to spell "hello." I hung them from some twine and stamped a small hello inside the card to help with the translation.
To do the inking on the background, I gently dragged a grey stamp pad over the embossing. Imagine my surprise when the pad popped off the plastic! It was a $1 Studio G pad I got at Michaels. My replacement will be a better quality lol. Thank goodness it was a light color since I got it all over my fingers finishing the inking!
Have a good night!

Love it!! I love your background! And the flags!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! It's a shame about your ink pad. I have a lot of the Studio G ones and I have a blue one that's starting to detach from the base, too. I'll have to watch it carefully!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! It'll be perfect for a sailor!
ReplyDeleteCute! What a great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat, creative solution for the Masculine Nautical challenge Cherie! I like that you came up with something from supplies you already had and it's especially fun that some might have to do a bit of work to figure out just what it says.
ReplyDeletevery clever - I would have never thought of that - thanks for playing along.
